Re: User defined type conversion

["ldries46" <bertus.dries@planet.nl>]

Is a variant record perhaps the solution for your problem.

type Rec = (bit16, bit 8);
type ABC is
   record
      Option : Rec;
      case Option
         when bit16 =>
              A16 : Unsigned_16;
              B16 : Unsigned_16;
        when bit8 =>
              A8 : Unsigned_8;
              B8 : Unsigned_8;
              C8 : Unsigned_8;
              D8 : Unsigned_8;
      end case;
   end record;
It seems to me yhat changing Option will change the output of the record.

Hi Folks,
I have a problem with a type conversion. Hereby is what I'm trying to do:

type AB is tagged
  record
    A : Unsigned_16;
    B : Unsigned_16;
  end record;

type abcde is tagged
  record
    a: Unsigned_8;
    b: Unsigned_8;
    c: Unsigned_8;
    d: Unsigned_8;
  end record;

X : AB;
Y : abcd;

X := Y;

I'd like to do a direct conversion without creating a method for it.
